摘要
This paper presents the results of a 14-week attention strategy training of 174 college freshmen. It illustrates the promoting function of attention in second language vocabulary acquisition by raising students＇ expectations for new words, by increasing the frequency of exposure to them, by enhancing their perceptual salience, and by increasing the task demand for word study. The results show that enhancing attention in input could promote students＇ vocabulary acquisition and help them form vocabulary learning strategy suitable for their levels of proficiency.
本文对174名独立学院大一学生进行了为期14周的英语学习注意策略训练。通过提高学生在输入阶段对新词的期望、词汇出现频率、增强词汇感知的突显性和提高词汇学习任务要求等教学手段,实现注意的强化从而促进学生的词汇学习。定量与定性研究结果表明:输入阶段强化注意策略从对新词整体把握方面有效促进了词汇习得,帮助学生形成适合自己的单词学习方法,但学生需要课后继续巩固复习以达到长期记忆的效果。
